Torker Cargo T Mod. at Flying Pigeon LA bike shop
The Torker Cargo T pictured above is a rough, tough, get stuff done kind of bike. Unlike its larger cousins the bakfiets, Nihola, or Yuba Mundo, the Cargo T can fit onto a bus or train while laden with 150lbs+ of cargo or kids. It features a center kick stand, a locking headset, 3-speed Shimano Nexus hub with coaster brake, a roller brake up front, a chain case, fenders, and those awesome racks!
The Torker Cargo T retails normally for $600 (as of this writing). This particular bike has some extras added to it: we stuck on a battery powered headlamp and tail light. We also installed an Abus wheel lock on the rear wheel. These extras add about $50 to the price of the bike (by our guesstimates).
A fine bike for doing some serious work, and making serious work a pleasurable thing!
